I would, alot of people would, just because alot of people watch something doesn't mean its good, look at the endless stream of reality shows that get stupid ratings. A good solid Star Trek show would I think work well on a service like Netflix. TV gives Star Trek the space to explore issues in more depth than a 2 hour film can.

None of that means anything. Science fiction is expensive to produce and ratings showed that the audience at large had little to no appetite for star trek anymore, certainly not enough to finance a 20+ episode season.

Now, in fairness, the audiences receded for the TV show and the movies in conjunction with the franchise being at its lowest ebb in terms of quality, so you can never say for certain that a high quality, prime universe series wouldnt fly but there just isnt the appetite for it at the moment.
